Four years ago, we ranked the top twenty-five Virginia Tech athletes playing professional. The list featured then Denver Broncos receiver Eddie Royal at the top of the list and included anyone from Brandon Flowers to Joe Saunders to Ace Custis. Today, we update the list with plenty of changes. [details]

Chancellor is a physical, downhill safety who takes good angles toward the ball and consistently closes on the play. He has an intimidating presence in the secondary and displays the power to disengage the ball from his man on contact. He generates good power and speed in pursuit and wraps up well on contact. He isn't fluid in his drop and looks stiff when asked to open up his hips and cover ground downfield. He is more of a straight-line athlete who struggles to quickly redirect out of his breaks and can be targeted when left alone in space downfield. He has a tendency to stop moving his feet on play fakes and lacks the range to make up for a false step. But he's patient in zone coverage and does a good job diagnosing pass plays and using the sideline as an extra defender. Overall, he's good looking athlete with natural pop and good straight-line speed for his size. But he struggles to change directions and allows receivers too often to get behind him. Chancellor doesn't look like a guy who has the fluidity and range to play in an NFL secondary, but he could make it as an in-the-box type of safety.
